So I have now been engaged for just over 3 weeks. YAY!!! Only 11 weeks and 3 days left...hahaha... :) There is still a lot to do but things are coming together well! :) I have found my wedding dress and everything that goes with it to make me feel beautiful on August 7th. :) I have my endowment scheduled, our announcement is almost done, and we have a reception location. So all of that is very very very very exciting! :) If you can't tell by all of the smiley faces that I have been using I am very very very excited! :) :) :) :) :)...
I am about halfway through my Spring Term classes so that is exciting. Even though the classes are double time because they are done in 7 weeks istead of 3 1/2 months I really like it because it doesn't give me time to get bored and lazy. :)
So between planning, working, and school I am very busy, but I wouldn't trade it for anything! I love every minute of it!
Love you all!

I went to New Hampshire and came back ENGAGED....
So this past week I went to New Hampshire with my then boyfriend (hehehe) Richard. We went out to spend a few days with his family, whom I had not met yet. So that was a lot of fun, I got to meet his parents, sister, and grandma. It was really fun, they are all really great! We did lots of fun things: we went up to Maine, down to Boston, hiking, and relaxing (but not much of the last one...we didn't have enough time to relax...).
On Saturday, April 26 we went to what is called the Bedford Village Inn, it is a cute little restaurant/inn. We went to one of the restaurants in there and got a chocolate bag (a delicious dessert with cake, chocolate mousse, and fruit in it). And we just enjoyed each others company and then he took me to a park, which is one of his favorites spots in town (and now mine as well) and we sat and talked on a blanket for a while and then he asked me to marry him. And I of course said yes! It was a great way for him to ask me, it is very us. Nice and laid back. :)
So now that our secret is out it is officially time for us to start planning our wedding! YAY!!!! :) So this summer is going to be very busy for me, on top of planning a wedding I am also taking classes and working, so I will be plenty busy!!! :) But I am VERY excited to be busy!!! :)

California!
I took off on Saturday with my mom, brothers, and Richard (boyfriend) to hang out in Cali for a few days before finals start. It was mom and the boys spring break so being the responsible people that we are Richard and I up and left with them right before finals! hahaha!
As irresponsible as it may have been I have no regrets, and it was nice to have a break before finals and unfry my brain for a few days. On Sunday we went and hung out with family that was lots of fun as always...never a dull moment with our family! Haha
On Monday we went to Knott's Berry Farm from about 10-4, that was also lots of fun and then we got to eat a delicious dinner at El Torito. Yummy!
On Tuesday mom, grandma, Justin and Jordan went to Disneyland while me and Richard played games and went to the beach. After a few beautiful and warm hours on the beach and in the cold water we went home and got clean to go to dinner at Outback Steakhouse. Then we went and walked on the pier at Seal Beach and got Cold Stone...I LOVE ICE CREAM! If I could live off of it and not die in a year I definitely would!
Wednesday we went and got donuts in the morning then we had In and Out and Volcanoe Burger for lunch. Then we played games and hung out until heading up to the LA Sports Center for the taping of American Gladiators, that was fun.
Thursday morning the fun and games were over, back to Utah. Now it is Friday and I have two finals down and two more to go...and then on Wednesday it's time for another vacation...this time to New Hampshire! YAY!

Update
Well, I figured that since I have sent out invites to view my blog I should probably post something that may be of at least some interest to all of you...
Since I haven't talked to a lot of you (at least not as much as I should) I will try to give you a detailed but brief update on my life in the past few months (I operate by BYU semesters).
I am majoring in Political Science at Brigham Young University in Utah and I love it! Life is great in college, busy but great! I am at a great place in my life right now. I am also working on a minor in International Development (that is my true passion, but they don't have the major, so I went to the next best thing). This is my fourth semester here, but as far as credits go I am a junior, so that is fun. But a lot of those credits don't do much for me as far as graduation goes so I have about 1 1/2 or 2 years left despite the number of credits that I have.
My apartment complex and my ward are fantastic! I love them both, I have so much fun and I am really glad that I decided to live where I do and with who I do. :)
It is the last full week of classes. And finals start next Friday and then I am done for about a week. But I am going spring term so I don't have much of a break. But spring term is only 6 weeks so come the middle of June I will start my actual break! :) But I am really excited about my classes for spring term so it'll be good. And it isn't long enough to get tired of my classes, and besides I love my major so I enjoy my classes.
I am dating a great guy and we have a lot of fun together. We have been dating since October so we are going on 6 months...an eternity...I know. Haha. JK. Things are great and we always have a blast together, he is a really great and fun guy.

The Beginning
